Yet relatively little is known about how HICP manifests in people\u2019s daily lives. To address this gap, this study used the comprehensive Ecological Momentary Assessment of pain (cEMAp) to assess pain-related experiences four times per day over 7 days in individuals with chronic low back pain. Based on the classification using the Graded Chronic Pain Scale\u2013Revised, we compared individuals with HICP (\n                  <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                  = 66) with those in the next most severe pain category, bothersome chronic pain (\n                  <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                  = 41), defined as having similar pain frequency but less frequent interference with daily activities. On each prompt, participants completed 2-hour assessments of pain intensity, interference, catastrophizing, behaviors, coping strategies, and pain characteristics. In line with prior research, both groups reported similar pain intensity levels, but the HICP group reported more frequent interference with physical, mental, and social activities. There were no group differences in daily mood or catastrophizing. Exploratory analyses suggested that many daily experiences were similar across groups, with differences observed in selected pain qualities, coping strategies, and pain behaviors. Additional analyses of response distributions showed some similarity across groups in many experiences. Overall, although individuals with HICP on average experience higher pain interference in daily life, levels of many day-to-day experiences are similar between the two groups. Data obtained with cEMAp complement traditional retrospective assessment by providing a detailed view of chronic pain in everyday life.\n                <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.64898\/2026.03.18.26348727","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,21]],"date-time":"2026-03-21T03:30:28Z","timestamp":1774063828000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ecological Momentary Assessments of daily pain experiences in bothersome and high-impact chronic pain"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7049-7943","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Walentynowicz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dornsife Center for Self-Report Science and Center for Economic C Social Research, University of Southern California, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7733-571X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Doerte U.","family":"Junghaenel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dornsife Center for Self-Report Science and Center for Economic C Social Research, University of Southern California, CA, USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Southern California, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7744-5348","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sean C.","family":"Mackey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative C Pain Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Palo Alto, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael Von","family":"Korff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute, Seattle, WA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7490-1758","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arthur A.","family":"Stone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dornsife Center for Self-Report Science and Center for Economic C Social Research, University of Southern California, CA, USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Southern California, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"54368","reference":[{"key":"2026032308252028000_2026.03.18.26348727v1.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1442-9993.2001.01070.pp.x"},{"key":"2026032308252028000_2026.03.18.26348727v1.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2517-6161.1995.tb02031.x"},{"key":"2026032308252028000_2026.03.18.26348727v1.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pain.2008.03.024"},{"key":"2026032308252028000_2026.03.18.26348727v1.4","unstructured":"Cohen J .
